Copy of Black Nativity by Langston Hughes

Black Nativity by Langston Hughes returns for its 10th Annual Holiday Musical Production, December 11-14, 2024, at the Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall, Marcus Center. Hughes’ joyous holiday musical is a testament to his timeless work, telling the story of the Nativity through a combination of scripture, poetry, dance and song from the African-American perspective.

Each year, Black Arts MKE showcases MKE-based professionals and emerging theater talent.  We provide new opportunities for next-gen artists to display their artistic skills and work alongside the Marcus Center’s seasoned backstage professionals.

Black Nativity by Langston Hughes will be directed by Sheri Williams Pannell.
